From the Atlanta Botanical Gardens Orchid House . . .

Horrible Color from my scanner . . . Not like the original . . . Oh Well, a cool shot, none the less . . .

Nice pic. I love orchids. If they smelled like roses or Gardenias they'd be the perfect flower. X

Jet,

That's a beautiful flower. Last month was the international Orchid competition in Okinawa. I went down there for it and was amazed. I love flowers.

Thanks adroomi . . . The Orchid House at The Atlanta Botanical Gardens is Amazing. It is a Huge Wandering Greenhouse with Thousands of Orchids.

The Orchid is One of the Coolest Flowers I've Ever Seen. So many hundreds of different varieties and shapes, sizes, color, ect . . .

The original picture is more pinkish in color. I wish it would show thru, but it is still a cool picture, regardless of the color variations from my scanner . . .

Thanks . . .

One of the Orchid's Amazing Characteristics, is that it is Parasitic . . . Such a gorgeous flower that is a parasite . . .

It is a Vanda. Giant pain in the ass as far as orchids. Dendrobiums, Oncidiums, Phalaenopsis are much more productive for hobbyist.

Thanks Mike . . .

I tried in vain to find the name of this Orchid the other day.

Vandaceous spp.

I shouldn't have even posted the picture. It looks so horrible compared to the original which is more pink. But, out of fondness for this cool flower, I did. I ran across some 5x7's that were in a drawer the other day, and wanted to share it with everyone. Especially the one titled, " Snake Doctor " . I wanted to enter snake doctor in a contest, because I thought that was one of the best photographs I've ever taken. But, who knows . . .
